All tubes are for the most part visible as well as the meters. They should have showed it off in a dark room, I bet it is dazzling in low light conditions

The showroom is just down the road from my stepson's place .................

Well, my Freya+ is playing up - not in a good way. So I ordered a Saga+ to sub whilst the Freya is traveling.

Wouldn't you know, Ms Jody says it sounds "better".

She clearly heard that the Freya+ was broken. How long did she have to wait for you to fix the problem?

Pennsylvania right? I have no idea what that thing will sell for but judging by their other equipment, it will be pricey. I suspect 12K or higher but I would need to see inside it to make a better guess. Hmm 235 lbs

Double Post.

Onkyo had some good CD transports. Well-engineered.

Yep. I have had the C-7030 for about 7 years now, working flawlessly. Was gonna buy another 2 years after the first one, and WHOA, had roughly doubled in price. Did not buy then, but am currently looking at the new and used markets for something. I have a lot of CD's I still like to play. Onkyo was a heckuva value play. Sorry to see them go.

All their offerings are lust-worthy imho. Cool story about how they got started. Definitely not the beaten path in anything they do.

I like their use of Pennsylvania walnut in some of their products. An attention to product looks. I have no idea how it sounds but i personally listen to Class A tube sound so my expectations are high.

"Great" or "Demented" take your pick! Those that know me would certainly pick the latter!

Well, we know @Zachik , and the latter applies to him too.

Most of you may know this by now but Onkyo as such is no more. The name should live on but it will not be the same company that was founded in 1946. I own one of their 7.2 surround sound receivers. Years ago I owned a Denki Onkyo reel to reel as well, early seventies vintage.

The first CD player I ever bought was an Onkyo. Full page ads in Stereo Review with their "opto-coupling" design for separating the digital and analog sections electrically. Sounded pretty bad, but to be fair everything back then sounded pretty bad. On the plus side, my LP collection expanded exponentially as a result.

I have an Onkyo TX-NR818. It is excellent.

Interesting video about measurements on Darko YouTube channel

Ugh. I freely admit to loathing "Dorko". I find him to be waaaaaay too frAudiophilian for me. Yuck.

If others like him. Good for him, LOL! If I were a Scottish toad I'd say, "I canna stand the manlet!"

Yuck. Did I mention I despise that person. Well, I would not be surprised if he does not care for me. Not a problem. There. I said it. I canna stad Dorko.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...

Fair enough, I find Amir and ASR to be a complete waste of time.

Measure-holes worry about decimal points rather than the tempo.

Why am I suddenly all nostalgic for Sony, Kenwood and Sansui?

That amp, like the new Western Electric 91e, is so beguiling I want one just to look at even if I never plugged it in. Ah, gear porn...

Sansui!! Pure classic class!
